I appreciate all of the comments and pledges in support of the 2003 team. And I can tell you the Sox will really appreciate the initiative you took here. It would have been very easy to take a negative attitude with regard to a great team not quite making it to the World Series. Instead, you celebrate what was indeed a turning point in construction of Red Sox teams by saying thank you to the players who showed so much heart this year with dollars earmarked for a great cause. That is quite a statement.

As you may have noticed, we're in the middle of an extended outage. We've got a new server up and running (with lots of new posts), but the DNS is going to take a day or two. In the meantime, http://216.126.84.59/ is your friend.

'Well, I'm living under the worst national administration of my lifetime,' Dukakis barks in his trademark staccato, his caterpillar eyebrows arched to signal a punchline is coming. 'If I'd beat his old man, you'd never have heard of this guy, so blame me.'

Panther has replaced Sendmail with Postfix. If you did the 10.3 'upgrade' instead of the 'archive and install' or 'clean install' then your Postfix won't work. The upgrade option didn't run the CreateSystemUsers script that adds the Postfix user to NetInfo. Here's how to setup Postfix, and here's how to run the CreateSystemUsers script if you upgraded.

Despite the poor lighting from the partially burned out fluorescents and the requisite musty odor that older things seem to emit when they are stored, the room that makes up the vinyl record library is still awe inspiring. The shelves rise eight feet high, dwarfing any who enter with row upon row of twelve-inch records, packed in so tightly they seem on the brink of bursting out of the storage space.

This is the record collection of Boston's WZBC, 90.3 FM. WZBC is the radio station of Boston College, although anyone who knows the station will tell you that the Abercrombie savvy student body of BC hasn't embraced the station as warmly as the city of Boston (and the admirers who experience the station beyond the transmitter range via web cast) has.

Tonight, George -- An American Tavern begins a Monday-night series geared to the local film industry called Project Green Light Night (and no, it's not connected to the Matt Damon-Ben Affleck HBO-sponsored 'Project Greenlight'). This is sponsored by Rock Green Light Beer, a new beverage that replaces Rolling Rock Light. (Claim to fame: lowest in carbs and calories! And Boston's the first of 40 markets in which it rolls out!) From 6 to 10 p.m., Dan McCarthy, whose 'Irish Eyes' (starring a Baldwin brother and semi-based on the Bulger brothers) hits theaters Friday, and Angela Peri, owner of Boston Casting, will set up shop to talk about getting into the biz.

Meet Tony DeBlois of Randolph, born blind, mentally retarded, and autistic, ... the best jazz pianist you probably never heard of and a one-man band who plays 19 instruments -- no, make that 20, because he took up the saxophone last December and plays it now, along with the keyboard.

Raef LaFrentz did a great job getting both offensive and defensive rebounds. He's going to work out just fine.

Both Marcus Banks and Mike James are what you'd call speedy!

THE CROWDSince we had a few empty seats around us, we were visited my many different people all night long, who chose to try out our neighboring seats.

THE CHANGING CAST OF CHARACTERS SITTING NEXT TO US:

The Three Teenage Boys Sitting In Our Seats:
I asked them if we were in teh right section and they quickly moved down. then when other people came they more over to the next section. Later they moved farther away. I think they spent their whole night moving all around the Fleet Center. What are the ushers there for anyway. They didn't care one bit who was sitting in any of the seats. Maybe after hte season starts they enforce the tickets more, but from this experience I might just grab a $10 ticket and go sit in the $140 seats myself.

The Teenage Girls Behind Us:
These teenage girls spent all their time on the cell phone talking about boys and getting up and down and running over to see a boy who was a ball boy. They even sat forward in their seats so that their piercing shrill voices would go right in my ear. Thanks girls.

They Guy Who Yelled 'WALKER'.
So the guys sitting in the row in front of us yells, 'WALKER'. I was more like 'WAAAAA-KEERRRRRRRRR'. Does he think it's amusing? I guess.

The Two Boys Beside Us:
These two little kids had Celtics shirts on and were nicely behaved. Between the 2nd and 3rd quarter, shirts were thrown into the stands. Well some guy jumped up in front of the little kids and grabbed the shirt. The Celtics shirt-throwers on the court told him to give it to the little kid that he jumped in front of. He said no. So a guy sitting 3 rows back went out and bought the kid a Celtics shirt and gave it to him. That was so nice. The little kid went up and shook his hand and thanked him.

The Father and Three Little Kids Who Like To Kick Chairs:
OK, so just the little kids were kicking the chairs. They were only there for one quarter though.

Celtics Wives:
Behind us were the Celtics wives. Their little kids were so cute. They were so excited to get on the scoreboard camera.

I'd like to know who the blonde was? It looked like she just got off a modeling shoot.

THE CROWD WENT NUTSThe crowd really rocked the rafters and made so much noise it was amazing. It didn't happen during the game though. The crowd went crazy to win some black Celtics baseball hats. Do they call them baseball hats? Anyway, the announcer tells the crowd to make some noise to win a hat and the crowd made noise.

They also go crazy and dance when the camera puts them on the scoreboard. Typical fan when the camera captures them:

When sudden cardiac arrest strikes, the electrical system of the heart short-circuits, causing an abnormal rhythm known as ventricular fibrillation. Shocking the heart—known as defibrillation—is the only way to effectively treat this abnormal heart rhythm. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can buy time for someone in cardiac arrest, but only a defibrillator can deliver a potentially life-saving shock.

The 10-minute survival window For defibrillation to be effective, the shock must be delivered within the first few minutes of collapse. In fact, for every minute that goes by without defibrillation, a victim’s chance of survival decreases by 7-10%. And after 10 minutes, it is unlikely that the person will survive.

How to connect a SMC2635W Wireless Card to an Apple Airport wireless network.
When you first try to connect to an Apple Airport with WEP enable the SMC Wireless card displays the error: Unable to connect.

Hmm.

No further explanation.

The reason is that you need to plug in the WEP password into the SMC software to allow it to connect to the Airport.

This is what you have to do:

1. Open the Apple Airport Utility and note the password that non Apple users must use. That means PC users. It looks something like this:
57rjjmd678903wjmmwkjw28904ehdnkdkdi9902w

I'm not kidding you, it really looks something like that.

Next, go over to your SMC software and key that into the KEY field.

APPLY the change and you'll be able to connect to the Airport WEP network.

Last month, my father bought a new pickup truck. When I asked why, he told me, "Well, I have some wood I need to pick up." Others, of course, might have rented a truck, but not my father who decided to buy a new Chevy Silverado for $20,000 in order to move this wood.

In the house I grew up in my father painted the fireplace bricks white.

Description of problem:
How do I remove the Sticky Brain menu items when I RIGHT CLICK?

I want to remove the software from my machine.

Do you have a utility do do that?

Thanks.
--Steve
UPDATE:

Got a quick answer:

To uninstall StickyBrain perform the following steps:

1. Delete the “StickyBrain” folder located in the Documents folder.
2. Delete the “StickyBrain” folder located in the “Contextual Menu Items”
folder. This folder is found in your home Library folder.
3. Press Command+Control+Option+Shift+X keys. This will quit the background
application HotKey.
4. Delete the “StickyBrain” folder from the Applications folder.
5. Remove HotKey from the Login Items list in System Preferences.

Command+Control+Option+Shift+X is the hardest key combination I have ever had to press!

"I believe that God intervenes in the affairs of men, to include nations, as Benjamin Franklin so eloquently stated. Yes I believe that George Bush was placed in the White House by God as well as Bill Clinton and other presidents."
Lt. Gen. William Boykin

The Massachusetts legislature's Joint Committee on the Judiciary will hear testimony beginning at 11:00 AM on Thursday, October 23, in Room A-1 on Senate Bill 1119, legislation that would make possession of marijuana a civil violation.

S. 1119:
- eliminates the authority of the police to take custody of a person over
18 for possessing marijuana;

- punishes possession of marijuana by a civil fine of not less than $100
nor more than $500 for the first violation and of not less than $200 nor
more than $1,000 for a second or subsequent violation; and,

- splits the civil fines collected between the state and the municipality
in which the violation occurred.

Currently, first time marijuana offenders face a maximum six month jail sentence.

This legislation offers significant legal protections to responsible marijuana smokers in Massachusetts. However, legislators will only support this measure if they hear from you.

Another violation outlined by the state was the virtual gantlet of candidates and campaigners voters had to walk through to get to some polling places. Under state regulations, electioneering is prohibited within 150 feet of the polls.

No kidding!

I told the police officer on site at my polling place at Jamaica Plain there were people with signs right at the foot of the stairs to the building.

He told me that it's a public place and they had a right to be there.

D'oh.

I guess he was wrong.

Next time this happens I'm going to point it out to the people in charge and if nothing is done to stop it, I'm going to go home, get my video camera, video tape it, and alert the news media!

This proper repairing of streets and sidewalks is not a city budget issue. It is not affected by recent budget cutbacks. Utility companies and private contractors pay into a street and sidewalks fund on a regular basis. The purpose of this fund is to have the city permanently repair street and sidewalk excavations. As of this summer, this fund totaled $22 million.

That reminds me, I was on the phone with one of my buddies this weekend talking about 'Skin.' Has there ever been a show with a shorter shelf life? Wouldn't it have been a much better mini-series? Sure, they're doing the 'Romeo and Juliet' thing, and the DA will be battling the porn czar and stuff. But how much mileage can you get out of that? By episode five, the ads will be like, 'And on a very special Skin, Julia runs away from home again!' If I were them, I would have switched the families and had the daughter's Dad be the district attorney -- this way, Ron Silver could have lured her into the porn business after she dumped his son. But that's just me.

What we'll do is what I call the General MacArthur strategy,' a senior Clark adviser said. 'General MacArthur was very successful in World War II because he skipped over the Japanese strongholds, where they were more organized, and instead picked islands that were favorable or neutral terrain. Which means we would choose not to focus resources on Iowa and instead focus them on New Hampshire and on Feb. 3,' when there are Democratic contests in seven states.

For a brief time, I was able to tape the rally speakers without intimidation. But then someone came up behind me and whispered a question in my ear. 'Are you nervous?' he asked. He pointed out how many people were at the rally, and continued to ask me whether I was afraid. Again, under the circumstances, I took this as a threat.

DAVID SMITH, the next "Joe Millionaire'' sent to win the hearts of gold-digging European beauties, turns out not to be the dirt-poor hunk we were promised. The 24-year-old Texan, who rakes in $11,000 a year as a rodeo cowboy, just happens to get by with a little help from his father, a filthy rich Texas oilman. "My dad's done everything for me,'' Smith admitted to TV Guide. "I've never had to work"

High Definition Artwork.
As sales of large digital televisions multiply, several firms are selling services to fill them with artwork.

In the summer of 2002, Anthony Wood, founder of ReplayTV, one of the first digital video recorders, bought a 50-inch flat-screen TV for his vacation home in Oregon.

"I didn't just want it sitting there, I wanted to show art on it," he said.

So Wood, a serial entrepreneur, created a company in Palo Alto, Calif., called Roku. The start-up's $500 digital media player is mostly designed to show personal art, like digital photographs and videos, in high definition on plasma televisions.
